design PROTOTYPes

We prototype at every stage of our development as well as offering it to people who need a physical prototype for their business.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

  • Prototypes used in our projects from early concepts to highly functional mock-ups.

  • Range from quick to functional to market ready prototypes dependign on budget and time.

  • Market/production prototypes with full colour spectrum 3D printing, CNC machining with network partner.

Primary, secondary and tertiary packaging design

  • Used early in concept design, iteration, design development and pre production to iterate the design solution.

    • Carboard/cartonboard/foam.

    • Test form, function, intuitiveness, experience, brand appeal.

    • 3D printer technology range from accessible to more developed depending on your needs. (FDM, SLA, SLS)

    • Large array of materials to select from. 100% Recycled materials, PLA, ABS, PETG, Carbon reinforced materials, Nylon and plant based materials

  • A top of the line prototpye to accurately represent the real world product/pack solution.

    • SLA, SLS, CNC machining technologies.

    • Full colour spectrum capability.

    • Colour, material finish representative.

  • This is the prototype(s) produced as a pre manufacturing run to ensure quality and design guideline adherance.

    • Created by your manufacturing partner.

    • Is exactly as the real world product/pack would be.

    • Network partner small batch production capable.

OUR Prototypes

PROJECT case study

Packaging, prototype

MARKET PRotoype- Perfume Bottle

The final iteration of a packaging design project that was to be put in front of consumer groups for final feedback, brand fit and appeal.

This market prototype could be filled, cap fully functioning with ‘glass’ like 3D printing to emulate the final design as if it was on shelf.

The benefit of this level of protoyping was to ensure the best feedback as consumers held and experienced this as if it were a real product that they would buy.
